Victoria: World’s Best Everything Map
It’s always easy to win an argument with a Sydneysider over whose city reigns supreme but is it going to our heads? Apparently so, according to this map recently posted on Strange Maps. Victoria has expanded into every state including making Tasmania, a big football field. While I doubt we have the world’s tallest buildings or the most millionaires, I can probably agree on world’s biggest wombat, world’s biggest kangaroo and certainly the world’s hungriest rabbits. The rabbit infestation doesn’t seem to be a problem as it appears we have sent all the rabbits to NSW.
Strangemaps: Victoria Victorious Over Rest Of Australia
On a side note for map lovers, I have finally checked out Mapland, a store in Little Bourke street dedicated to maps. They are the oldest map shop in Australia; founded in 1870. The store is chock full of maps from around the world and is staffed by extremely knowledgeable and helpful people.

Mapland’s awesome. I bought a giant Melways wall-map from them a while back, and I love it. Great for settling arguments.
Melways haha. I once had a disagreement with a mate of mine, over the actual distance of Werribee from the city. We looked up Melways and voila :O
